About Remi Jean

Remi Jean is a 4-year-old spayed Border Collie with the hallmark smarts and drive that make this breed famous. She wakes up ready to learn, work, and live as part of a team. Remi loves people of all ages, gets along well with other dogs, and is gentle when hanging out with cats—though her herding instincts sometimes shine through when she tries to "manage" her feline friends. She needs more than just a backyard—Remi thrives in an environment where her body and brain stay busy. If you’re into hiking, agility, scent work, or just love daily challenges and activities, she’ll be your dream companion. Her only real soft spot is thunderstorms: Remi likes to have company and a cozy spot during storms, and a little extra reassurance goes a long way. Because she’s sharp and energetic, Remi really needs a secure home and an experienced owner who appreciates what makes a Border Collie tick. She has a history of clever escapes—not to cause mischief, but because she’s always searching for something meaningful to do. Remi’s previous family couldn’t keep up with her needs, so she’s looking for someone who truly understands her breed. Now living safely in a caring foster home, Remi is ready for her next adventure. If you want a loyal, affectionate dog who will be your partner, shadow, and teammate—Remi Jean could be the missing piece. She’s fostered in Houston, TX, but adoption and transport are available to many locations. Remi is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and on preventatives. Ready to meet your new best friend?
